Booklist - 04/15/2016 During WWII, Nazis troops invade Ukraine. Burning villages and farms, they either kill Jews or round them up for transport. Twelve-year-old Anton, his two uncles, and his grandmother, Bubbe, are soon on the run. Along with other Jewish escapees, they hide in underground caves and tunnels. Meanwhile, above ground, Major Karl Von Duesen directs his troops in a cat-and-mouse game, hoping to destroy these hidden enemies. After Bubbe is captured, Anton strikes back against Von Duesen, who focuses his energy on a personal vendetta to salvage his pride. More accessible to a younger audience than most historical novels on similar topics, this chapter book features a determined protagonist who does what he can to help his family survive. The stakes are high and so is the tension as the action scenes play out. While some characters are depicted as wholly good or evil, the more nuanced portrayals are convincing. Still, readers can feel confident that, whatever price individuals may pay, good will triumph in the end. - Copyright 2016 Booklist.
